Work yesterday wasn't too bad. Still a bit sick, but feeling better today, even more so than yesterday. Not impressed with the abundance of rude customers yesterday, but I figure that's part of the job I'm paid to do. Had a sleepy night, watched Dawn Of The Dead, and spent a while playing zombie games online. A good night.

Need to go home today to grab a few things, I think; at least a jacket. Feeling sorry for the dogs, so I might play with them for a bit later today. Just can't get too active, otherwise I stuff coughing like hell. Also might head off to grab some sushi with Chaz tonight. Haven't seen him for a week or so. Not much else to say for today.

Looking forward to poker on Thursday night. Oh, and I need to remember to ring work this afternoon to check my roster for this week.

Just woke up. Need to get a shopping list together before I go to work today so I can stock up on the vitals. Hoping it won't take too long, because time forces me to shop after work, and it's usually pretty cold within an hour or so of me finishing up there. Not sure what to cook for dinner tonight.

Also need to go home to get hold of something warm for my feet and my phone charger, as it's almost dead. It's a tough little phone, though. It'll manage another day. The cats woke me up this morning, again, and fat Sammy is actually sitting right across the room at the moment, staring at me. He thinks a lot.

Work was alright last night. Had a few little worrying moments where my head spun and the fever kicked up, but all was good in the end. Was a tad stressing, being the first night I was technically working as a 'senior'. Basically, all that means is that I was the one who was over 18, thus in charge. Not much responsibility, but still. Hoping I did things right.

Plan for today is to find something good to eat now, go to work at 12, finish at 4, then head to the shops and hopefully be on my way home by 4:30. I'll drop by my house on the way back from there, or possibly get someone to drop my Ugg boots and phone charger in during the night/afternoon. Will probably have a later lunch at the end of my shift, so I'll settle for a late dinner tonight and maybe watch a DVD.

So I've decided to, once more, start up a journal. I've done so a fair few times, too many to remember, both online and off in the past. We'll see what happens. I've got a whole new agenda now, so hopefully it'll keep me on track.

I woke up early today. Mind you, early for me is anything before 9am. The cats woke me up. I'm house-sitting at the moment for my mums cousin who lives a few blocks from me. Only a few blocks from my girlfriend, too, so geographically the job doesn't change much. It's easy, too. Just have to look after the place and the animals. There are two cats and two Labradors outside. They're all great animals. It's nice to have solitude here.

So I woke up early. The cats have to have their breakfast before they're out to play. Of course. I'm feeling pretty good today, considering. I've been in bed for the last week (ok, not the whole time, but generally) due to the flu. On the mind, though, and today's the best I've felt for a week.

I've got work tonight. First time in a week due to said sickness. Can't be at work coughing all over everyone's food. Wasn't sure how it'd go tonight since I'm still a big off at nighttime, usually feeling lethargic and feverish. All is good, though. turns out I'll be working with Millie. She's a good worker and a nice girl. Should make things a bit easier. It's only a five hour shift tonight anyway, until close, which is 10 on Sundays. Should be fine.

Nothing more to report. Future thoughts are on some exercise. This week of doing nothing has made me more conscious of my unfit situation. Planning, once I'm fully recovered, to start a bit of a routine (again). Hopefully I'll manage.

Off to make up some pasta now for lunch and, if the need arises, for dinner tonight. Not sure if I'll be hungry by then.
